Welcome to Our Amazing Region!
Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation
Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation
I have never met a network like NAWIC. The relationships and bonds I have created over the years with ladies all over the country are truly amazing and deep. I know I have allies and mentors in the industry who can help guide me through any situation that might arise in my career, and I am truly better for it!

Join Us for the Business Relationships and Lasting Connections
I am truly inspired by the increase of women in the construction industry in leadership roles. I never had the opportunity to have a female role model, and i am proud to be one for those around me, as we encourage women to enter this amazing workforce.
Join Us for Regional Conferences: Spring & Fall
Connect, Learn, and Lead at Our Regional Events
While most chapters get together monthly, as a region we gather two times a year. Once in the fall to kick off the NAWIC year and once again in the spring. Both events planned by our Region Director, her committee & the host chapter. Together they team up to create an agenda of professional development & education, NAWIC related updates and offer amazing networking and team building opportunities.
